The room is so tiny, you would enter and directly need to sit on the bed. Had been here for a night, for 50£ I prefer other hotels in east London ( Barking etc). You would see Cigar ash in the non smoking rooms and also hear all sorts of noises from the road. Positive aspect's being free Breakfast, near... More

We were looking for a twin ensuite room for 2 nights, to include parking and breakfast, for around £100 and were happy to stay outsde of London. After much research on many websites, we chose The Cranford Hotel. Admittedly the reviws weren't amazing but on the whole we got an ok impression of the hotel. On arrival (approx 1.30pm) we... More

My husband has been forced to use this hotel a lot over the last couple months due to his work being away from home. So far he has been refused a drink of water (there are signs in the bathroom stating its not safe to drink) It advertises wifi but this only works in reception and to top it all... More

My boyfriend and I had been looking for WEEKS for some where to stay during our time at the Olympics. We found this hotel, knowing a little about Ilford it's self and that it wasn't the best of places but thought for the price (£150 for two nights), free parking and the location of the hotel we would take a...

I had read reviews on this hotel and thought that it would be a cheap, basic clean hotel and that we would be happy with what we got for our money. The first room we had was VERY small and was so stuffy you couldn't breath in there. Radiator could not be turned down (temp control nobs had been removed)... More

Stayed in this hotel 5th to 6th November 2011 Very late booking via travelstay.com who gave a very good deal Due to low price I wasn't expecting a lot but was presently surprised. Staff friendly and very quick check in. Was given option to pay cash. Room on upper floor, very clean and recently decorated. Not a lot of space... More

I have stayed in cheap hotels before, and managed it, but not enjoyed it much. This place blew me away, as I wasn't expecting much more than I have experienced before in cheap hotels. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing like your 3 star hotels, but for budgeting, I highly recommend it. We paid 25£ p/p per night, and it... More

Unfortunately we stayed during a period of refurbishment, the public areas were quite dirty, missing carpet and exposed noisy pipes. Despite this fact, it was quiet. The rooms were on the point of being decorated. The bathroom was radically basic (seemed not to be finished), we didn´t have where to hang towels or put the toilet paper! Just toilet, washbasin...
